Lose yourself in a book
In a world of online work and social media, take a break, immerse yourself into a favorite book. No work or educational genres required! :) Reading is a great way to disappear and give your brain a rest from its usual worry and activities.

Drink Water
Too little water can cause headaches, fatigue, dizzness and dry skin. These can leave you feeling exhausted at any time, but especially during the busy holiday season. Find a way to track your water intake and try for at least 8 glasses per day, even if you start with just an extra couple of glasses at first.
